Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions in San Diego from restaurant operators.
1. How often should grease interceptors be cleaned?
Grease interceptors in commercial kitchens should be cleaned based on volume, typically every three to six months. High-output restaurants or multi-tenant buildings may require more frequent service. Regular cleaning prevents backups, foul odors, and health code violations. Our licensed San Diego team ensures timely, professional grease interceptor maintenance that keeps kitchens fully operational, compliant, and inspection-ready at all times.
2. What is the difference between grease traps and interceptors?

Our San Diego team services both, maintaining health code compliance, preventing plumbing issues, and keeping commercial kitchens functioning smoothly every day reliably.
